What Is The Importance Of Games And Sports?

The word game covers all entertaining activities like indoor computer games, cards, carom, squash and outdoor games like hockey, football and cricket. the word sport covers exercises or games pursued in the open like cricket and hockey. Thus games are a wider term.

We all know, though we do not try to act upon the principle, that a body that is not daily exercised soon become weak and begins looking ugly. Games and sports give us a chance to develop our bodies and keep healthy. Even the Greeks , more than 2000 years ago, aimed at the development of " a sound mind un a sound body".

Now we have sports organizations at national and continental level to have matches and sports regularly. Evidently sports improve our health and make us active and smart. so, we should encourage regular playing of hockey, football, cricket, baseball, tennis etc. games teach us how to compete with others in life and make us brave.

Yet there are some abuses of games and sports as well. it is off course harmful for students to playing games when they should study their books and prepare for their examinations. Playing indoor games like cards, carom and chess for boys is harmful to health. Gambling during playing in any way is worst abuse.

We should play games in true spirit and should be prepared for victory as well as defeat. It is regular practice in games that is really needed and a lot of discipline indeed.
